The good life

oh yeah, they're passed out.

our boys have the good life.

4/29/2015

Oh my... Who knew a boyband could change my life.

Well, kind of.

Because of EXO, I feel "younger". Like 16 year old giddy girly young feeling.

No, I don't have the "hots" for the EXO members. I respect them so much for the hard work they put in their videos, perfs, albums..etc. You can imagine how much these guys work.

I respect the boys so much. Considering the youngest member is 11 years younger than I am..heh! It's more like an adoration for the boys. I haven't liked a boyband like this since I was actually a teenager!

Who knew a boyband could make a 32year old lady feel giddy and happy. Which means more "happy hormones" floating in my body to make my immune system healthy and strong = in turn cells younger and happy healthy mind and body! (nerdy me!)

And I'm so thankful for that! Who cares how you're supposed to feel and act. Age is really nothing but a number.

I stopped counting my age, nor do we (my husband and I) celebrate our bdays, bc it's really just a number. Once I reached 28, counting my age felt unnecessary. It even feels forced to celebrate it.

So 30year olds, let the Kpop boybands make you feel giddy and young. Because feeling like a 16 year old girl is good for you (in turn your health, vitality, soul).

We adults, stopped acting with our hearts. We think of how to act according to what society makes us think we should act.

Forget all that. For now, I feel like I'm 16!

And that's all good with me :)

And here's to my favorite EXO member: Xiumin (Minseok)

giddy giddy happy happy

Another set of online plant purchase

After settling down to our new apt, mission one: get more plants to fill up the space.

They arrived and are beautiful!

it says "live plants, please take caution"

wow, excellent packaging!!

These plants were about 2500won each. It was super super cheap. And only 2500won shipping free. I am very happy with the purchase.

Just look at the packaging! And it arrived the next day I ordered them. This is why I love online shopping in Korea. You can get great things at great price and service.

My plant purchase this time were 7 in pots in total. All very healthy. It's been 2 weeks now and they are thriving! I will be ordering more from them soon.

I have about 50+ potted plants in our home now. I have this tendency to fill a sun lighted area with a plant. I have to slow myself down. It's like an addiction.

One of the reasons I hesitate to travel much is because of my plants...sigh. My cats, oh they're fine by themselves (jk), but my plants need TLC everyday. That's the only downside to having plants. You have to look after them like babies (over exaggeration).

With the air quality in Seoul (and most cities), having plants at home helps, also great for sucking up the heat during summer and gets it warm and moist in winter. You can't go wrong with having plants! :)

What to wear to a "black dress event"

Ohh.... what do you wear to a "black dress event". I looked it up.. since I don't know much about this kind of "dress up stuff".

It says pretty much anything goes for women, it just depends on the occasion. You can show some skin or not. Wear mini dress or long. It's up to the lady! But it just makes things so difficult for me.

Especially when you don't really want to stand out for not being dressed too down or up... I personally am not that "dressy" to begin with...so I put a few things together that would fit my life style/sense. ***I like to dress down on most occasions. I don't like to wear colorful makeup, or pretty much wear no makeup. I don't like to show too much skin.

Black or bold color? Either one looks great!

classy style: Han Ga-In

subtle "dress up"

or suble "dress down" to an event

with that face of hers, she can do no wrong!?

Han Ga-In is so pretty!

I personally love this style on her. She looks so natural and pretty! so so so very pretty. I even like her undone natural hair, just tied back like that. But she pumps it up with black nail polish. That's styling!
